[CDash] Submitting to sub projects via Curl

[Wouter Klouwen]

Hi Zack,

thanks for taking the time to reply.

Your suggestion makes sense, though the CTest HTTP submit handler code 
suggests that the "ctest -T Submit" does this via the HTTP URL:
 
https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/blob/master/Source/CTest/cmCTestSubmitHandler.cxx#L1074

Regardless of that, how does one get the Coverage.xml to contain this 
extra information? Putting the following line into the CMakeLists.txt or 
even CTestTestfile.cmake doesn't make anything appear in it:
     set_property(GLOBAL PROPERTY SubProject "example")

Is this more of a question for the CMake group?

I did find a fellow soul who seemingly had to do something very similar 
approximately 4 years ago but never posted an solution to his quandary:

Thanks in advance,
     W
